Su Qing said: "When you face a monster, if you can control yourself and not kill it, your killing of the monster will be meaningful."
Aisi looked confused.
Su Qing shrugged and said, "Anyway, the conditions are here. It's up to you whether you complete them or not."
To be honest, Su Qing didn't hate Ai Si's decisiveness in killing monsters.
On the contrary, Su Qing felt that Ai Si was a little conservative.
In the original work, Ais was somewhat shaken when faced with a heretic child who clearly demonstrated his own intelligence and was neither a monster nor a human.
If Su Qing were faced with the same situation, he would never think that the heretic was caught between humans and monsters, and that it was too pitiful for him to be an intelligent monster.
Su Qing felt that if he were born in this world and discovered a heretic, his first thought would definitely be to think about whether the heretic was a threat or not.
Can sentient monsters find a way to control other monsters and prevent them from attacking the city according to certain strategies?
Can intelligent monsters break through the limitations of the dungeon, travel to different levels at will, attack other monsters, quickly devour magic stones, and quickly grow to heights that adventurers can never reach?
Can sentient monsters slowly infect other monsters, increasing the number of such monsters among them? Or even eventually forming a monster civilization?
Even if a heretic can do one thing, no matter whether the heretic is persecuted by adventurers or how pitiful he is, at least for the human group, a dead heretic is a good heretic.
Although the heretics of this world have been targeted by Uranus for hundreds of years, they cannot even get a decent living space. They are sandwiched between humans and monsters, and are not loved by their grandmas or uncles. They are very pitiful.
This is the norm for similar products.
Mixed-race children have great potential, and the probability of this happening is extremely low. In theory, mixed-race children have a chance to inherit the advantages of both parents, but in reality, without generations of genetic screening and survival of the fittest, the possibility of inheriting the defects of both sides is higher.
Heretics are not hybrids in the conventional sense, but monsters bred in dungeons are designed to kill adventurers, and their body structures are designed to kill people.
An accidental mutation occurred in the body that was created for the purpose of killing. To be more specific, after the monster died, the obsession in its soul was too firm. When it was reborn as a monster in the dungeon, the firm soul reversely affected the body, causing the body to develop intelligence modules and language modules that could communicate with humans.
But even if the heretic had his intelligence module added while being nurtured in the dungeon, every detail of his body structure was actually designed to kill people.
The body of a monster that is designed to kill people, combined with an intelligent soul that can communicate with humans, can be considered a hybrid.
An excellent hybrid inherits the advantages of both sides, while the heretic is undoubtedly a very ordinary hybrid. It would be an exaggeration to say that he has perfectly inherited the shortcomings of humans and monsters, but he has indeed not inherited many advantages.
Judging from the strength of the heretics in the original work, they obviously pose no threat to other races on the surface.
But if there are more monsters like Niu Mei, the heretic can be upgraded to level 7 in a short time after birth, and will continue to grow in the future... What if a black dragon-level heretic grows up? Even if it is slightly weaker, it will be a disaster.
The floor master will stay on the floor, but the heretic can freely cross the floors of the dungeon, or even leave the dungeon.
According to the situation in the original novel, Su Qing could only say that Niu Mei was really special. If one or two heretics with similar potential could appear in every era, then would heretics still have to worry about having no living space?
But really not.
Niu Mei has great potential, and Su Qing thinks it might be because of Bell.
The dungeon probably originally did not pay much attention to heretics that could not be fully controlled, and was too lazy to provide too many resources when breeding heretics. When it was breeding monsters, it found that the monsters had intelligence and were beyond its control, so it simply stopped.
But because Bell's potential and luck are related to the dungeon, the dungeon provided a lot of resources when nurturing the Bull Girl who was obsessed with Bell, making the Bull Girl naturally have higher qualifications.
However, in Su Qing's opinion, for safety reasons, even if heretics pose no threat to humans, it is best to control them.
——The heretics themselves may not be a threat to humans, but they may not be interesting.
After all, the world of Dicuo is a world where gods dominate everything.
Just like the elves and the dwarfs, these people in the underworld are intertwined with the vast majority of humans and have formed a stable social system. There is no need to deliberately target them.
Who knows what the gods will think of heretics, intelligent monsters like them?
Could it be 'more interesting than humans'?
It doesn’t matter whether the heretics have better potential than humans, but the gods’ opinions are important. Every time an additional life enters the scene, the existing races on the earth are in greater danger of being abandoned by the gods.
Su Qing was quite fortunate that the world he first lived in was a small box. Although the enemies he had to face in the small box were a little stronger, at least they were reasonably strong.
The humans in the wrong world really don't even have room to struggle.
In this respect, the gods of the Jicuo world are more like gods than the gods and Buddhas of the box garden.
The gods and Buddhas in the small garden mostly derive their power from human history. At most, they can just build another small garden, and it is impossible to completely cut off from human history.
The gods of the Earthly World derive their power from themselves, and their attitude towards all creatures on the ground is all out of interest, not profit.
It only takes one god to completely raze the underworld to the ground, so what attitude the gods take towards the creatures on the surface is naturally a problem for the gods themselves.
Whether it is protecting life on the surface or bringing disaster to life on the surface, life on the surface has no say at all.
The humans in the box garden can at least decide whether they believe in gods or not. That belief has a minimal impact on gods and Buddhas, but it does have an impact.
The gods in the box garden may not care about one or two humans, and they may be very arrogant when facing humans... But for gods who are so arrogant that they dare not care about the human group, the grass on their graves will be more than three feet high.
However, the only influence that humans in the world of Dicuo can have on the gods is the gods' moods. Other than that, they cannot cause any substantial impact.
In a world like this, the top priority for any race is how to contact the gods.
One way is to show a side of yourself that can interest the gods.
Cutting out other options that might interest the gods is another approach.
On this basis, even monsters are enemies of humans.
Who can guarantee that the gods won't get tired of life on the surface in the future? More and more gods want to destroy the clan system they once established for the sake of interest, enjoy the incredible expressions of the surface life that once admired them when they betrayed them, and then stand on the side of the underground city?
Aisi may not have thought about it too much, but even without considering the gods, monsters are direct enemies of human survival.
Chapter 36 Enter
The original Tower of Babel.
The original Tower of Babel is located right above the dungeon, and is the only legal and legitimate way to enter the dungeon, but reality is not a game, and there is no such thing as indestructible terrain.
Not to mention that in the original work, the dark faction had other ways to go to the dungeon - the dungeon was located underground, and it was not difficult to find one or two high-level adventurers and blast out an entrance.
It is easy to create an entrance from the surface to the dungeon, but the difficulty lies in defending the dungeon from the monsters that attack the surface when it occasionally riots.
Not long ago, a tall dark tower replaced the Tower of Babel, but not long after, the guild opened a new passage nearby and sent personnel to invite adventurers from the expedition team out of the dungeon.
Aisi looked at the new entrance with a dull expression.
Because of the recent turmoil, the dungeon will not be open for a short period of time - that being said, if you really want to enter the dungeon, there are still some tricks.
The changes that occurred in Orario needed to be notified to the adventurers as soon as possible. Some gods were still trapped in the magic tower, so naturally the corresponding clans had to be notified.
...Uranus used the excuse that the incident originated from the heavens. Many gods didn't care about the other gods trapped in the magic tower, and even thought that this was a "surprise" given to them by the gods in heaven.
Who let these gods stay in the Tower of Babel when the incident happened? You are out of luck and deserve to be trapped in there as "hostages".
To the gods, this level of malice is at most a prank, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Just randomly select a group of unlucky people!
Most gods have adapted to this sudden malice, but their followers still need to be notified. It is easy to notify the shallow levels of the dungeon, but it is more difficult to notify adventurers heading into the deeper levels.
For adventurers of Aisi's level, it is easy to enter the dungeon as long as they accept this kind of notification task from the guild.
Entering the dungeon is not a problem, but...
A day with a monster?
It has to be a dragon monster?
It’s not a question of whether it’s difficult or not, but in the past, this would not even be an option she would consider.
Aisi's usually calm face showed a rare hint of confusion as she stared at the new dungeon entrance.
Ais took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and stood still. Scenes of monsters killing people appeared in her mind, and she persuaded herself in her heart that this was the necessary price to become stronger...
click!
The body collides with something.
"Don't you have eyes? Don't block me on the street... Oh, sorry, I bumped into you by accident."
A passerby who was planning to turn the tables found that he couldn't afford to offend the person he had bumped into, so he quickly apologized and left.
Ai Si let out a long sigh, and all the mental preparation she had just made went down the drain.
Ignoring what just happened, Aisi gritted her teeth.
There's no point in struggling. You'll get stabbed if you stick your head out, and you'll get stabbed if you hide your head... Hurry into the dungeon, complete the mission and call it a day.
Ais thought so and took the first step towards the entrance of the dungeon.
That back figure looks like a hero who knows he will die, but still walks towards despair without hesitation.
……
That back figure looks like a hero who knows he will die, but still walks towards despair without hesitation.
Behind Ais, a Yamabuki fairy peeked out quietly.
Lefiya woke up very early, and after walking out of the room, she unexpectedly found that Ais also got up early.
She mustered up the courage to say hello to Ai Si, but she just responded mechanically with a worried look on her face. She probably didn't even realize who was saying hello to her.
Lefiya felt that she had found the reason for tracking... ahem.
Lefiya felt that she couldn't just leave Aisi like this, so she sneaked behind Aisi and observed her actions.
Until now, watching Ai Si enter the dungeon.
Lefiya tilted her head, looking confused. Shouldn't all members of Loki's family be on holiday today? Moreover, Miss Aisi's mental state was not right.
However, after all, she was Aisi, the top adventurer of Orario. It was her instinct to deal with monsters. She couldn't go to the deep layer alone, so Lefiya was not worried about Aisi's safety...
No.
Lefiya coughed dryly.
How can we underestimate the dungeon? In this state, Miss Aisi will be protected by her.
After Ais entered the entrance, Lefiya took two steps forward and walked in front of the registration staff.
"Ms. Aina, please help me register. I also want to enter the dungeon."
